Hi everyone ! This is my first post here but I have found so much helpful info on this website ! I need to decide on my granite countertop soon (like today/tomorrow) ! I have white cabinets and white (with a little bit of grey) tile floor and I really like the delicatus (or Alaska white) granite. I went to pick out my slab last Friday, but the stoneyard does not have stock right now. My fabricator went shopping for me Sat. and sent me this picture of the Alaska white slab. If I want this, I can get them installed this Friday, if not, I will have to go to Chicago again (2+hrs drive) and pick my own. My fabricator said it's really beautiful piece, while it seems to have too much black for me. I personally like the ones with less black and more white (this slab seems too busy for me), but also think this slab might work well with the white cabinets ? Really need your advice here !! Should I go with this or I should go pick again ? It might sound silly but I am not sure I can take more days off during the week ( stoneyards close at 12pm Sat., not enough time). I am planning to move to my new house next week so was hoping I can get the countertop installed Friday and applicances installed on Sat.. But if I have to wait, I can wait I guess. Do you think this slab will go well with what I am describing or it will be too busy ? I will need 3 slabs for my kitchen. Thanks so much in advance !! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh my I think it is lovely and would look gorgeous with white cabinets. With that being said I honestly think that you could be unhappy with it. You really sound unconvinced. It is wonderful that your fabricator went shopping for you but if you really want to go lighter a 2 or 3 week delay will be minor compared to the many years you will have to live with something you don't love. |
Thanks so much Holly-kay ! I would say I am really on the fence right now ... as you can see I hate to make decisions !!! I think I could just go with this slab, but boy, need some honest opinions to help me validate or change my opinion !!! |

Personally I like it. However, you need to love it. If it doesn't move you, then it isn't for you. Don't settle, it's too big of a deal. |
Super. if you don't love it, don't use it! I personally would love to use that beautiful slab if I had white cabs, but honestly if you need to be convinced I don't think it is the right one for you. Whatever you choose I am anxious to see pics!!! Good luck with your project! |
Thanks a lot ! I think I have difficulty in making any big decisions :( Do you guys think this type of Alaska white (in the link) will go well with white cabinets (also white tile :)) ? Will be less busier ? Or I should try to bring more of the contrast ? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Alaska white
I agree--if you don't love it, don't buy it. You will be staring at these counters for years to come. You don't want to have regrets each time you see them! As inconvenient as it may be, wait until you love one. |

I love White Delicatus and think it would be perfect with white cabinets, that being said, it's your kitchen not mine. You need to love it! It's a big decision and there are many wonderful slabs out there. I'd ask your fabricator to tag them, then I'd get up really early and be at the stone yards when they open on Saturday. Good luck and please post photos when you decide! |
susperls78- I personally love the slab pictured in your first post more so than the one pictured in the link, but that is just my personal taste. But as the others said- "you got to love it". Either slab, yes I think, would go great with white cabinets. Don't rush yourself and settle for something you are not wild about. Three slabs- wow can't wait to see your kitchen! |

I personally love this slab, the flow on it is gorgeous & if you have white cabinetry & greyish flooring, the granite would look very nice, it will compliment stainless steel, black or white appliances well. But, yes, if you are having reservations, then don't rush into any decisions, doing a project like this is a big decision. I personally think you'd be happy with this slab as your countertop, but, what you feel inside is the only thing that counts. Good luck & please post pictures of whatever you decide to do, it's always so fun to see what people have done with their remodeling projects. |
Very pretty and I think it would look great with white cabs, but agree with the others, YOU have to love it. You seem unsure, like you're trying to talk yourself into it, but can't. If you're second guessing, it probably isn't the one. However even if you did love it I would hope you'd get to see it and inspect it in person and hold a sample of your white cab next to it to see that your white is a match. Please keep us posted! |

I think it's absolutely gorgeous! I'm going with everyone else here in that you really have to love it and not feel like you are settling. My husband and I are going through the exact same thing now....trying to decide on whether we should settle on a granite that is not our first choice just because there is no upgrade charge ( new construction) or go with what we like! I feel your pain...but honestly, go with what you LOVE! |
Super -Welcome to GW! I like the first one better than the one you linked to. First one seems darker but has more uniformity to the slab. Second one has those big dark spots that may or may not look right when it's laid out and cut for your counters. It's a pain doing all the driving around but I think you really need to see what you are getting and not just go off a picture. Maybe have them tape off your layout so you can visualize how it will actually look. Unless I'm misunderstanding and you have already seen all three slabs in "real life". Sounds like your kitchen will be beautiful. |
Thanks everyone for your warm replies !!! Really helpful !! Glad to see actually this slab is beatiful in you guys' eyes ! I know this is my kitchen and I need to love it but getting the validation is important :) Seems even if we go with this slab, it is still safer that we go to see these slabs ourselves. I will make some phone calls tomorrow and decide what I will do !! Will keep you guys updated !! |
I bought a slab of this exact granite for a kitchen island in one house and a bathroom in another. I was going to paint the kitchen cabs white but the darker color of cabinet seemed to make the granite more beautiful. This is just my opinion though. I know many people of here have this granite with white cabs and it looks lovely. I just prefer it to have the darker contrast in cabinet color. |
I love the first one with white cabs and white/gray floor. The linked one looks like the spots are more brown to me and I wouldn't mix the browns and grays. Me personally. I would do a very plain backsplash with this though - like a subway or white tiles or something soft and easy. Leave all the business to the granite. I think it would be stunning! |
Maybe I should take back what i said about dark cabs. Just saw this photo. Looks great with the creamy white cabs! |

We have white delicatus with white cabs and I love the first slab you posted. I wish ours looked like that. Our fault for not looking at our whole slab (it has more brown than our sample). I vote for the "busier" slab. Honestly I think it's less busy than the one you linked because the business is more uniform, if that makes any sense. Kind of how a pattern can be a neutral (so says What Not to Wear) |
Thank you thank you !! You guys are so wonderful in helping me !! So we might actually just go with the slabs, but before they cut it, I will go to Chicago tomorrow morning at 7 and see the actual slabs with my measurement templates on. I think this way I can really see what I am getting and whether I like it or not. Will also bring a cabinet door with us !! Hopefully it will turn out great ! And if that's the case, they can install it this Friday, amazing huh ? I do see the note on backsplash, I am now planning to use this granite to do the backsplash between the cooktop and range hood. Would that be too busy ? I am not doing backsplash in other parts in the kitchen yet (except the standard 4 inch ones) |
- Posted by Momto3kiddos (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 15:16
That is beautiful. I really wanted delicatus, but I couldn't find one that wasn't yellow. It looks like yours is very clearly white, just make sure to ask. |
Super, I love the slab, but you need to love whatever you choose. I agree with Sanjuangirl to ask your fabricator to tag several slabs then be at the stoneyards bright and early on Saturday when they open. Once you comparison shop it may help you decide. Best of luck. |

UPDATED 12:00 PM CDT Mar 10, 2014Investigators and counselors give us a window into the spread of heroin addiction in the Omaha metro.
Video TranscriptNEW TONIGHT.. INVESTIGATORS AND COUNSELORS GIVE US A WINDOW INTO THE SPREAD OF HEROIN ADDICTION HERE IN THE METRO.

MANY-- LIKE PALMA, STARTED YOUNG-- AND ACCIDENTALLY.(TERESA HAMILTON: and then inadvertently became addicted to the medication. when they couldn't find the medication, then maybe they would switch to street kind of drugs or maybe move to the heroin)(SGT.

On a couple of occasions, I have had bullets come unseated and shift, when doing cycling drills. Of course, these were professional reloads and not done on high-end commercial machines. Myth? It happened. That said, I have yet to see it occur with any factory ammo I've ever used, despite some severe jams, clearing, ejection, cycling sequences.
What I do: keep my primary gun loaded at all times, except during cleaning. If I cycle out a round from the chamber, it simply gets tossed into the box for the next outing to the range. Just takes one memory cell, to remember that. Avoids the whole possibility of shifting and becoming unseated, seating more deeply.

And with good reason. "Damn" is another killer R&B track from the big-lunged diva. Instead of playing the wronged woman like she did on lead single "Cried", Candice switches roles — singing "damn, damn, damn, I fell in love with someone else's man" in the catchy chorus. Listen to the emotionally-charged track/future hit after the jump.
Are you excited to hear Candice's debut LP? Let us know in the comments below.

The Real Life Models photo series cleverly brings characters in famous paintings to life. Like Grant Wood and his classic American Gothic artwork, many artists use real people as the basis for their creative outputs. But while he created a realistic portrait of the farmer and his spinster daughter, others often take it to fantastical extremes. Or they simply rely solely on their imaginations to dream up a character.
Created by 19-year-old Hungarian photographer Flora Borsi, the Real Life Models photo series focuses on the latter to envision what these more abstract characters would look like in the real world. Examining paintings by Kees van Dongen, Rudolf Hausner, Picasso and more, Borsi's 'models' are quite realistic despite a few peculiar features.

THOMPSON FALLS — A one-time candidate for the Republican nomination to Montana's lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives went on trial here last week in front of a packed courtroom in the Sanders County Courthouse.
Don't be surprised if you hadn't heard anything about it. The bench trial was over a $20 seat belt ticket.
But to Mark French, who mounted an uphill battle against then-incumbent Denny Rehberg for the GOP nomination in 2010, it was about much more than a $20 ticket.
He says it's about government overreach, and he says that leads to such things as Obamacare, gun control and government deciding how large a soda pop you can purchase.
"Where does it end?" French asks. "It doesn't, there's no end to it."
Americans have to draw a line in the sand at some point, French says, and the seat belt ticket gave him his line.
"Why is a seat belt required to be worn to keep us safe in a car, but not on a bus?" French wrote in an email encouraging local residents to show up in the courtroom to support his cause. "Why are we allowed to rock climb, snow ski, water ski, hang glide, hunt and eat candy bars? Why is it not unlawful to refuse medical advice?
"Are we ready to be told by government that we cannot drink an extra large pop?"
French, a lab technician at Clark Fork Valley Hospital in Plains and a tea party activist, says the law requiring drivers and occupants of a vehicle to wear seat belts violates Montana's Constitution, and that officers who issue citations for it are violating the oath they took to uphold that, and the U.S., constitutions.
In general, courts have disagreed. The Illinois Supreme Court, for instance, has ruled that driving on public roads is a privilege, not a right, and can be regulated. Other courts have noted the potential cost to taxpayers if a person is more severely injured in a crash because they weren't wearing a seat belt.
The irony is that French says he usually buckles up.
But on May 5 of this year, he says he was spraying for weeds on his property when he got in his vehicle and pulled onto Montana Highway 200 to make the 2 1/2-mile trip back to his home.
Traveling in the opposite direction from the east, Montana Highway Patrolman Steve Spurr testified he observed a white car with no front license plate pass him. The rear plate, Spurr said, had a protective cover that made it difficult to see the plate number.
Both are traffic violations.
Spurr turned around and testified he observed French pull his retractable shoulder seat belt out and buckle up after the patrolman turned on his emergency lights.
He pulled French over.
French was unable to produce a driver's license or proof of insurance, although he is licensed and does carry insurance. Spurr says he explained to French that he stopped him because of the license plate issues.
French, who had asked permission to exit his vehicle, then began breaking off the cover over the rear license plate, although Spurr told him he could wait until he got home to remove it.
The patrolman gave French warnings for the obstructed plate and for having no proof of insurance, and cited him for the seat belt violation.
Montana law says officers cannot stop a driver solely for not wearing a seat belt, but the citation for not wearing one can be written if a driver is pulled over for a separate traffic violation.
French represented himself in court last Wednesday. Justice of the Peace Donald Strine made it clear that the only thing the trial was concerned with was "whether Mr. French was wearing a seat belt on May 5, 2013."
"This is not the venue," Strine said, "to argue the law of wearing a seat belt."
Spurr was the only witness to testify. Sanders County deputy prosecutor Amy Kenison questioned Spurr about his oath of office to uphold the Montana and U.S. constitutions, and whether that oath limits his authority.
"Yes," Spurr replied. His job, he said is "to make sure the law is obeyed."
Kenison, Spurr, French and Strine watched a video of the traffic stop that the audience in the crowded courtroom couldn't see.
When it was his turn to question Spurr, French tried several different approaches.
He suggested he could have been wearing a lap belt that wouldn't have been visible to the patrolman, and questioned whether he had ever admitted to not wearing a seat belt during the traffic stop.
He asked whether the officer had taken his paperwork back to his patrol car and whether that was allowed, which Kenison objected to on the grounds of relevancy.
French asked if Spurr was "bound to uphold every law," to which Spurr replied, "You're asking if I have discretion, and I do."
"I was glad to hear him say that," French said later, adding that discretion should have included not writing him up for the seat belt violation.
How about the provision that allows an exemption for people who make frequent stops in the performance of their official job duties? French wondered.
"Did I tell you I'm spraying weeds? Would you consider that work?" French asked Spurr.
Kenison objected again, saying, "It's not the patrolman's job to interpret the law."
"I don't want this to be based on exempting a worker" anyway, French decided.
His next question to Spurr also drew an objection from Kenison.
"Why don't we just have a king?" French started to ask the highway patrolman.
Article 2, Section 28 of the Montana Constitution reads, "Laws for the punishment of crime shall be founded on the principles of prevention and reformation. Full rights are restored by termination of state supervision for any offense against the state."
French says this "teaches" that "there must be a victim before there is a crime."
"Where is the victim in a seat belt violation?" French wrote. "The enforcement of that law creates a real victim. The victim's time and money are taken from him illegally by law enforcement."
After the trial, French was asked how far the notion that there must be a victim before there is crime extended. For example, if someone drives 100 mph through town, blowing through stop signs or traffic lights, but doesn't hit anyone or anything, has no crime been committed because there is no victim?
"That's threatening behavior, and threatening behavior is a crime," French said. Wearing, or not wearing, a seat belt, should be up to the individual, he says.
He also argues that the seatbelt law violates Montanans' right to privacy as spelled out in Article 2, Section 10, and flies in the face of the Declaration of Independence.
"The purpose of government is to secure our rights, not to remove them," French wrote.
French is a Missoula native who grew up on the family ranch near Paradise, graduated from Montana State University with a degree in microbiology, and interned at the Duke University School of Medicine.
He's not been shy about his beliefs, nor going to bat for them.
In 2010 he ran against Rehberg, himself a self-avowed conservative, because he felt Rehberg wasn't conservative enough, and got 19.5 percent of the vote – 25,344 of them – in a three-way race for the GOP nomination.
Rehberg "has had plenty of time to prove his mettle and vote to be fiscally and constitutionally responsible," French said in his campaign against the incumbent, who won the primary with 96,796 votes, or 75 percent. "He has done neither."
In 2011, French lost a bid to become chairman of the Montana Republican Party to Will Deshamps, 139-40.
His seatbelt trial went the same way.
Strine found him guilty, fined him $20, imposed another $50 in court costs and also ordered French to pay for the overtime Spurr put in to testify at the trial.
"I understand your way of thinking, that government should not be allowed to tell us what to do," Strine said.
But, Strine added, he spent 28 years in law enforcement and too often saw the results of crashes where people weren't wearing seat belts, including "digging a baby out from underneath a car" because it wasn't properly restrained.
"People need to wear seat belts," Strine told French.
French said an appeal to District Court will depend on whether he can get a jury trial there.
"I won't appeal to another judge," French said. "Regardless, I'm going to do my best to find someone to run against Justice Strine in the 2014 election. He revealed who he is and how he operates in that courtroom."
"I work at a hospital, and I've seen the carnage alcohol and drugs cause," he went on. "So, maybe we ought to outlaw alcohol … oh wait, we tried that, it doesn't work. Maybe we ought to outlaw drugs … oh, I guess they're already illegal, but that doesn't stop people from using them."
Freedom, French said, "can be a scary thing. We've got to give people the choice to make bad decisions, or we don't live in America."

Important Information >>
Yoav S. Liberman is a studio furniture artist, an architect and an inventor. His work combines the old and new, using found objects and discarded wood as sources of inspiration for the pieces that he builds.
After contemplating all my different design ideas, I decided to start with the basics and make a prototype. This called for a a simple piece of wood shaped like see-saw.
Even with this simple design I suggest a few variations: Cutting the whole shape from one block of wood; Cutting a dowel rod in half and gluing it at the middle of the auxiliary jaw; Inserting a short dowel into the auxiliary jaw to act at a hinge.
I ended up making the adjustable jaw by cutting its shape from one block of poplar. A harder wood like Maple would be even better.
And here is how the jig works...
You can also hold the workpiece upright or at an angle. To increase the jaw's grab you can glue a piece of sand paper on its inner side and maybe on the vaulted hinge back.

The Bombay High Court, on Tuesday, granted Deccan Chronicles Holdings Ltd. (DCHL) time for three more days to give a bank guarantee of Rs.100 crore to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) concerning its Deccan Chargers IPL team.
The high court on October 1 had directed DCHL to furnish the bank guarantee by October 9, which was to be in force for one year.
Since the cash strapped company could not augment it by the deadline, it sought an extension. Now it had time till Friday.
The October 1 directive was issued by the court while hearing a petition filed by DCHL challenging BCCI's decision to terminate its contract for the IPL franchise.
The court had earlier observed that DCHL should bear all expenses for IPL Series-6.

I tried a shake and the gym and didn't much care for it, if I had to I would drink it, but I am looking for some alternatives. She wants me to start tracking my food intake, and that scares me. She has also told me I am not to have any pasta, potatoes, bread or rice at night. What would be a safe cut-off time for these? I work 1 night a week, and usually bring Subway for my dinner, but now I am thinking I might need to not even do that. I do have access to a microwave at work.

Charlottes love affair with traditional kitchen décor has sizzled for decades.
That makes the new Hans Krug kitchen showroom, on West Morehead Street near Freedom Drive, a bit of an anomaly. The place is filled with sleek, modern cabinets that are available in 28 finishes, ranging from understated to somewhat exotic.
Hans Krug President Tony Battah believes he has products that can keep the company afloat, especially as more newcomers arrive.
People who move here from other cities Miami, Dallas, Chicago, New York they want a little more of a contemporary look, and theres nowhere at this price level to find it, Battah said.
Battah sold kitchen cabinets and other types of building materials for 22 years before he launched the Hans Krug brand.
The idea came as he was renovating his home in Charlottes Eastover neighborhood.
He couldnt find the contemporary cabinet designs he wanted, so Battah hired a factory in Slovakia two years ago to build some for him. He was happy with the factorys work and thought others would be, too.
That prompted me to make my own showroom here in Charlotte, he said.
He opened the first Hans Krug location in December to work with builders, architects, designers and homeowners. Hed ultimately like to have locations nationally.
The cabinets are built at the Slovakian factory, which helps keep cost down because of moderate labor costs, Battah said. Hes working directly with the factory, rather than buying from a wholesaler. That also keeps his prices down, he said.
Already Battah is brave enough to mention his upstart brand in the same breath with SieMatic and Scavolini, both established, contemporary luxury brands.
He believes hes found a way to attract customers who might also consider buying cabinets from those companies.
Something we would sell for $12,000, they would sell for $50,000 and up, he said.
Hans Krugs arrival is not the first attempt to reimagine the regions kitchens in a way that breaks with Southern customs for kitchen decor.
Scandinavian retailer Ikea has been doing that for a few years, with a competitively priced catalog of kitchen products.
Nolte Home Studio in Pineville is also a seller of contemporary kitchen designs, but the phones were no longer in service last week.
SieMatic, an established, high-end contemporary brand, had a showroom on East Boulevard before the housing boom withered, then crashed in the recession.
Prices in SieMatics contemporary Floating Spaces collection start around $35,000. The companys high-end BeauxArts 02 collection starts at about $100,000 for a small kitchen.
SieMatic now serves the mid-Atlantic market, primarily through its showroom in Charleston and through a partnership with The Kitchen Specialist in Durham, according to CEO Hans Henkes.
Charlotte is an attractive market that has embraced contemporary design, Henkes said.
Keri Henley, a certified kitchen designer and co-owner of Artisan Cabinetry, said new markets continue to emerge for cabinets with simple designs without corbels or etchings on the doors and frames.
As the city gets younger and with a lot of these high-rise projects thats what they put in, more of the contemporary look, Henley said.
The finishes for Hans Krug cabinets are created with high-gloss lacquers, solid wood veneers, laminates, as well as artificial wood grains created through thermal foil heat transfers, sometimes with a gloss or texture on top.
Concealed hinges made by Blum also are a part of the Hans Krug aesthetic. Motorized door lifts can be added as an option on upper cabinets to make it easier to open and close the doors. LED lights are also available.
Along with the clean aesthetic, Battahs products have other features that he expects will appeal to conscientious consumers.
Ninety percent of the materials used to make the boxes inside the decorative frames were recycled, Battah said. The manufacturing process is also greener because the company limits the use of formaldehyde as it makes cabinets in nearly 300 sizes, Battah said.
I had a goal, he said, explaining why sensitivity to the environment became part of his approach to design. I wanted to differentiate myself from other manufactures doing the same thing.

text: Seems these days, everytime I pick up a pack of Sweet N Low, I get a moan or groan from SOMEONE telling me I shouldn't use it and to use real sugar instead. I like splenda, but it's not everywhere. What I'm asking is, what's the deal with this? I've started using real sugar in place of artificials a few days ago. Anyone ever make the change and notice any differences? I don't use it often. I have a coffee in the morning and MAYBE one in the afternoon, occasionally. Should I stick with the real stuff?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Saudis happy over easing of US security checks
Easing of security checks at US airports results in a huge increase in
visa applications to the US
* By Abdul Nabi Shaheen, Correspondent
* Published: 13:18 June 15, 2011
* Gulf News
* 0http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/saudi-arabia/saudis-happy-over-easing-of-us-security-checks-1.821848
Riyadh: A large number of Saudis are keen to cash in on the easing
of security checks at US airports by planning their vacation to that
This has resulted in a huge increase in visa applications to the United
States,Gulf News has learnt from the US embassy sources.
Many Saudis expressed their happiness over the new scenario. Saudis no
longer need to wait for hours at US airports to complete the much
criticised "security inspection ordeal."
The customs and immigration procedures would take about 20 minutes instead
of four to five hours over the past years following the September 11
terror attacks.
A source at the Saudi embassy in Washington attributed this positive
change to the lifting of the National Security Entry-Exit Registration
System (NSEERS).
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had announced earlier that
special registration process was discontinued from April 28. Travellers
who registered with NSEERS when they entered the US are not required to
register when they depart, the announcement said.
Speaking to Gulf News, a source at the US embassy in Riyadh said the
number of Saudis securing visas to visit the US was doubled during the
last year. "Saudi Arabia ranks seventh among the list of countries which
secured the highest number of visas.
The US missions in the Kingdom had issued more than 90,000 visas last year
alone," he said, adding that this figure is a record. The source also
noted that only six per cent of visa applications had been rejected in
2010, and the Kingdom remains at the bottom of countries with regard to
the rejection of visa applications by the US missions around the world.
Meanwhile, the Saudi embassy in Washington has started closely monitoring
the particulars of Saudi citizens coming to the United States, such as the
number of Saudis carried by each aircraft from the Kingdom, their period
of stay, departure and the like, according to a report in Al
Watan newspaper.
The embassy source said that the information regarding the particulars of
Saudi passengers coming to the US is available with the Saudi Arabian
Airlines and various Saudi airports where from they set out their travel.
It is noteworthy that the US immigration authorities had earlier
intensified security inspection checks of passengers coming from 14
countries, including Saudi Arabia.
Travellers from these countries have been subjected to mandatory extra
screening before they can board a flight to the US. With these rules, only
people who carry passports from, or are travelling from or through 14
listed countries, would automatically be subject to full-body pat-downs,
extra luggage checks, and full-body scans and explosive detection sweeps.
These countries also include Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan,
Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.
After the failed bid to set off explosive on board a Detroit bound plane
by a passenger in December 2009, the Obama administration had announced
that security checks from these countries would remain tightened.

The Art of Phil Kendall.
Please note: none of the art you see here is for sale.
World travel and making art are my greatest passions. To date I have seen parts of twenty countries spread over five continents. Greece will always be close to my heart. What I have seen is the inspiration for the art shown here in my paintings.
As a young child in the early 1950's I learned to read from very old books about countries, people and exploration. The text was rich descriptive prose and the illustrations were elegant black line drawings.
Those books were so inspirational I just had to learn to draw and that was the easiest part of my story. The reading took more effort. Then I could only dream of seeing some of those places perhaps one day.
In 1992 I travelled to Crete with the intention of sketching on historic sites only to discover that this required various official consents but photography was widely permitted.
My art is patiently hand crafted on canvas using acrylic paints and acrylic inks. The art critics have described my art as having a unique brand or style. In their words, it's art cut down to its beautiful essence. It's aways about colour, shapes, lines & light.
Each country has those must-see attractions. Vast tourist crowds gather at each of the photographic hot-spots only to turn their back's to the site and snap their selfie. They no longer stand and study what's there to be seen, it's taken for granted.
Tourist attractions have been studied and painted by artists' since the beginning of time and their paintings can be marvelled at in any museum. I have no desire to add to this pool of sameness.
Away from that hectic world there are historic sites crumbling away tomorrow they will be gone. Here there are no people in the way just fences and vegetation concealing tantalizing glimpses of the past which may never have attracted any artist. This is the starting point for my original art.

Essaouira, MoroccoFor the money, this place is great. For a cheap dormroom hostel in Marocco, the negatives i have are very small and not something i feel should influence the final rating. I have stayed in many hostels in Europe, that costed 5 times more, that was not half as good as this one. I highly reccomend the place and will personally be returning, no doubt.

Arts Admin Student Wins Professional Development Grant for Conference
December 15, 2011
Arts Administration student Max Long wins SPEA Auction and Gala Professional Development Grant for International Association of Venue Managers Performing Arts Managers Conference in New York City in February 2012. The Performing Arts Managers Conference is an annual gathering of performing arts professionals that focuses on the current needs and challenges facing performing arts venues and the staff that operate them. Averaging over 200 attendees annually, the conference is small enough to allow for excellent networking opportunities, extensive venue tours, and incredible guest lectures.
Max says "In terms of my professional goals, I am anxious to meet new people and reconnect with the professionals I met at PAMC 2011. I had an unbelievable experience last year because the activities planned introduced me to a number of like-minded individuals through face-to-face conversation, hands-on learning, and social hours. In one of the most arts-rich cities in the country, I believe this conference will be an incredible learning experience and a great opportunity to meet professionals that are shaping the performing arts industry."

I have a plan....
See all those cloaks? They have great stats on them. Armor, defense, resistance, you name it. A cloak can have every stat you need.
So I got to thinking - why not wear nothing but cloaks? It isn't that hard, it's not like trying to wear 2 pairs of plate gloves. I'll just slap on cloak after cloak until the point I need people to put them on me for me. Once I become nothing more than a ball I shall hire a bear druid to push me around. When we get to a boss all he has to do is kick me to the boss, then I spam consecrate all battle long! (Thanks of course to the spell damage cloaks I thew in!)

"I love radio dramatizations"
This is a dramatization of the story. I have neither read nor listened to the original story.
There are no people like the Brits for putting books to TV, radio, or other cinematic endeavor. They stay true to the author, unlike Hollywood folk who have the brass to think they can improve on the original. True to form, this cast is excellent! As always, the BBC has done an excellent job!
I am sorry that other reviewers were unable to get beyond "yuck, it is a romance". Of course it is; it is a story about alchemy - the metaphysical marriage of chemicals to create other compounds. I enjoyed the story very much. It reminds me of struggles within my own life - searching for my "magic", accepting myself as both dark and light, learning that love is far more than lust, and struggling to communicate with and to trust a life partner. There is a lot of wisdom in the book - if one is willing to go beneath the surface.

text: I'm in my late forties and am currently experiencing peri-menopause. I am starting to gain weight in my stomach area as well as my thighs. I'm not used to this rapid increase in weight. I can't fit any of my clothes and I did not increase my food intake. Someone told me it's my age. I read somewhere that it has something to do with menopause. Does anyone know anything about either of these answers and if so, provide clarity?:(

Fiesta Restaurant Group, parent company of Taco Cabana and Pollo Tropical restaurant brands, has relocated its headquarters from Miami to Addison, Texas, a Dallas suburb.
The company continues to operate brand offices in San Antonio and Miami and is in the process of hiring a team that will occupy more than 20,000 square feet of office space at 14800 Landmark Boulevard.
"Addison offered a competitive incentive package as well as a community with a rich talent pool for the restaurant industry," said Timothy P. Taft, CEO, president and director of the Fiesta Restaurant Group. "The ability to recruit and retain talent as well as the city's central location and great amenities made Addison an ideal choice to continue to grow our business."

SHOWING SOME LEG: "Oh my god, you're wearing a minidress," one friend screeched at the usually androgynous Caroline de Maigret at Anthony Vaccarello's show on Tuesday evening. The model-turned-music producer was sporting a boxy navy blue jacket dress by the designer. "I tease Anthony, because I normally wear his overalls. I've always thought his dresses were for 14-year-olds, and he has proved the contrary. He beat me at my own game," she said.
De Maigret will be flying to New York next week to work on the sound and image for Johnny Hallyday's tour. "It's very bluesy, rock 'n' roll," she commented. Also present were dance duo Les Twins and DJ Theophilus London.

There's interesting thought piece over at Atlantic that wonders if the flight from America's suburbs and exurbs by folks who can no longer afford the housing (and the gas prices to reach home) will have the similar negative effect as when people fleeing the cities in the sixties and seventies. In the Franklin Reserve neighborhood […]
In the Franklin Reserve neighborhood of Elk Grove, California, south of Sacramento, the houses are nicer than those at Windy Ridge—many once sold for well over $500,000—but the phenomenon is the same. At the height of the boom, 10,000 new homes were built there in just four years. Now many are empty; renters of dubious character occupy others. Graffiti, broken windows, and other markers of decay have multiplied. Susan McDonald, president of the local residents' association and an executive at a local bank, told the Associated Press, "There's been gang activity. Things have really been changing, the last few years."
In the first half of last year, residential burglaries rose by 35 percent and robberies by 58 percent in suburban Lee County, Florida, where one in four houses stands empty. Charlotte's crime rates have stayed flat overall in recent years—but from 2003 to 2006, in the 10 suburbs of the city that have experienced the highest foreclosure rates, crime rose 33 percent. Civic organizations in some suburbs have begun to mow the lawns around empty houses to keep up the appearance of stability. Police departments are mapping foreclosures in an effort to identify emerging criminal hot spots.
…The experience of cities during the 1950s through the '80s suggests that the fate of many single-family homes on the metropolitan fringes will be resale, at rock-bottom prices, to lower-income families—and in all likelihood, eventual conversion to apartments.
He points out that it's unlikely that suburbs are going to one-day see a return of inhabitants because cities were built to last longer than the average American suburb:
This future is not likely to wear well on suburban housing. Many of the inner-city neighborhoods that began their decline in the 1960s consisted of sturdily built, turn-of-the-century row houses, tough enough to withstand being broken up into apartments, and requiring relatively little upkeep. By comparison, modern suburban houses, even high-end McMansions, are cheaply built. Hollow doors and wallboard are less durable than solid-oak doors and lath-and-plaster walls. The plywood floors that lurk under wood veneers or carpeting tend to break up and warp as the glue that holds the wood together dries out; asphalt-shingle roofs typically need replacing after 10 years. Many recently built houses take what structural integrity they have from drywall—their thin wooden frames are too flimsy to hold the houses up.
As the residents of inner-city neighborhoods did before them, suburban homeowners will surely try to prevent the division of neighborhood houses into rental units, which would herald the arrival of the poor. And many will likely succeed, for a time. But eventually, the owners of these fringe houses will have to sell to someone, and they're not likely to find many buyers… Much of the future decline is likely to occur on the fringes, in towns far away from the central city, not served by rail transit, and lacking any real core. In other words, some of the worst problems are likely to be seen in some of the country's more recently developed areas—and not only those inhabited by subprime-mortgage borrowers. Many of these areas will become magnets for poverty, crime, and social dysfunction.
